When I created this piece I had
in mind the idea that there are two parts to one whole. As individuals
all of us deal with what we typically refer to as our dark and light
sides. One side ever leaning towards evil or just plain bad
inclinations while the other part of us, the light side, tends towards
good deeds and pleasant thoughts. Each side is struggling to gain
control by repressing the other. For the most part they balance each
other out., leaving the majority of us to reside somewhere in the
middle. This balance is precious and essential to our completion as a
whole being.
I portrayed the two sides
as angels, one fallen and one still in grace. However, I wanted to
depict the contrasting nature of the two beings without the obvious
use of wings, halos, and horns. Instead, I put a few feathers,
both black and white.
She envies her.... As only the
fallen can Her innocence, her purity, chaste as a newborn day. The
epitome of righteous perfection...all she can never be... She longs to
consume it, the grace the beauty So she smothers her and revels in all
that she is and all she can never be.
